“It become totally untenable to me that after acting for 25 years - I've played Juliet, Cleopatra and Anne Frank - there I was, sitting in Hollywood, just waiting for somebody to want me.”

“I'd rather not marry an actor because there isn't room in the house for two egos.”

“There's no such thing as The Method. The term 'method-acting' is so much nonsense. There are many methods, many techniques.”

“As far as I can see, about the only thing I've missed is a college education.”

“My acting career wasn't going where I wanted it to. I wasn't getting good parts. I got so bored with myself that I started writing.”

“A great performance like Lady Macbeth may be forgotten. Writing endures.”

“My dad treated Marilyn Monroe more like his daughter than me.”
